to replace the fire assay. The AuRACLE AGT1 is
not intended to be used as the final method for
determining the authenticity or karat of gold and
platinum. Therefore, a qualified assayer should make
all final determinations of the identity of the unknown
metal in question. That said, the AuRACLE AGT1 test
results has repeatedly correlated incredibly close to
fire assay results.
Conditions for Ideal Operation:
The AuRACLE AGT1 should be used in the following
environmental conditions. By not following these
instructions you risk compromising the accuracy of
the test.
A. Temperature: The AGT1 is a workhorse and
is capable of working in most any normal or
professional environment, with room temperature
of approximately 65-75F being the best. While it
has proven to work just fine in temperatures as
high as 100F, ideally it is suggested to avoid using
the AGT1 in extreme temperatures.
B. The metal being tested must be dry. If the surface
of the metal is wet or has any type of surface
moisture it may not test correctly.
C. The metal being tested must be clean of any
obvious dirt or contaminant that might interfere
with the contact of the pen probe to the metal.
That said, the tester may be used otherwise with
little concern for normal surface dirt or hand oil
and will work perfectly.
D. It is imperative that the pen probe tip be cleaned
from time to time, especially when it visibly
